As some of you may already be aware, we have begun construction of a new forum as a rebirth of PHO and continuing on into future projects.
This forum is called Silph Co., and can be found by clicking the banner below. We are in the process of transferring some of our old resources, and the forum is open for posting. It will be sad to see PHO go, but we look forward to a bright future with Silph.
The forums here will be moved to an archive, and the url will redirect to the new site in the coming days/weeks.

General DiscussionFeel like chilling and talking about random stuff? General Discussion is the place for you!

A few weeks ago I raised the question of whether anyone would be interested in participating in a little PHO Pokémon battling tourney. Nobody really seemed that interested, but I'm not sure if that's just because it was in the DCC or not. Needless to say, I've thought about this a little more and just wanna test the water again before I go any further.

There is a slight gimmick to which Pokémon will be allowed in the tourney, because I like gimmicks :L. Currently I have devised a list of 41 Pokémon, all of which fall into a certain category. The way I've made this list is:
-At the time of it's introduction, the Pokémon wasn't part of an evolutionary line (this means that Onix was included in this primary sweep, but Steelix was not for example)
-The Pokémon has a base stat total of 445 or below (this weeded out all the Pokémon that didn't have any evolutions but were still pretty powerful on their own...also Legendaries)

I originally had 450 as the cutoff point, but that is exactly where Chansey falls, and yeah...you'll have to make do with Audino. Needless to say, if a Pokémon falls into this category and has a mega evolution, unless that mega evolution also falls into the base stat total maximum (hint: none of them do) then the mega evolution cannot be used.

Any feedback relating to this is welcome and encouraged, let me know if you are interested and if you think I should change anything or whatever (that's not to say I'll definitely do whatever you say but I'm not gonna straight up ignore feedback)

Well I mean...I'm not really using any of the current teirs, more making my own in a way. Technically it'd probably fall under OU if you really want it to be one of them but I've basically given a list of Pokémon already and more rules and stuff would come when I've found out how many people are actually interested. As for the simulator, I wasn't going to use one, I was planning on doing it on XY (ORAS players would be able to participate too obviously but through the XY mode since I don't have ORAS). I'm tempted to make it LC-esque in that it's all level 5 Pokémon though since they are all basic Pokémon
